Hitler expresses his views on "Games for Windows - LIVE".
Hitler didn't even mention how much of a buggy mess patching games in LIVE is. Many people with Fallout 3 weren't able to play their game after the patches where released because GFWL would freeze when they tried to install etc. And they couldn't just play the game unpatched either, GFWL won't let you play a game if a patch has been released until you install the patch. (assuming that you can, otherwise you've just lost your 50 dollar game)
Oh, and patching via GFWL can also delete your savefile.
And I just found out about quite possibly the absolute worst flaw in GFWL, which says alot. I don't know what to say. Just look at this:

Jesus fucking christ.
Oh, and changing your gamertag costs money. Yes. REAL. FUCKING. MONEY.
The out-of-game GFWL client is a piece of shit, you can't chat with people or patch games from it.
Basically you need to be running a GFWL game to use it's full functionality, which is retarded and doesn't make any sense.
I couldn't mention all of these things in the video simply because it wouldn't fit. And there's EVEN MORE problems with GFWL that I haven't even mentioned in the video OR the video description.
Info for people who don't know what this is about:
Games for Windows Live is a program for PC games by microsoft which essentially tries to port XboX Live funtionality to the PC Games that use GFWL. (achievements, friend lists system, matchmaking etc)
However it is not a very good port of these functionalities, and the things that work well on consoles don't necessarily work very well on the PC and/or don't live up to it's standards.
